Sorting contacts

[cnovel]

Currently when syncing with contacts, it seems the order is arbitrary. It would be great if the contacts where sorted alphabetically.

yes! thank you to remind me that!
It should be an easy fix with the lib underscore-min.js already loaded.

obviously the task is for me a bit more complex than i through, i may need some help from a cozy front dev

edit: see code here app.js#L716

Try to use of the lib underscore to sort contacts here :

            for (i = 0; i < res.length; i++) {
                var mAd = _.findWhere(res[i].key.datapoints, {name: 'adr'}, {type: 'main'});
                if (mAd !== undefined && mAd.value !== undefined) {
                    // mAd.value.join('\n');
                    var adrr = mAd.value.join('');
                    var mAdz = adrr.replace(/\n/g, ' ');
                    console.log('Success: Get Contacts Address');

If you are using underscore's collection to manage the list of contact you can use sortBy : http://underscorejs.org/#sortBy

_.sortBy(yourContactListFiltered, 'name');

Maybe the _.find function is what you need to filter the list (didn't really understand your code and where it comes from)

yeah i know, it's really not easy to read,

in fact the basic is:

cozysdk.run('Contact', 'all', {}, function (err, res)

and the template for the sidebar

		var template =
		'<tr><th data-id="' + res[i].id +
		'" class="contactmap" rowspan="4" align="top">' + altUpics +
		'</th><th align="left">' + res[i].key.fn + '</th></tr><tr>' +
		'<td class="data-add" id="updatecontact' + res[i].id + '">' +
		adrsidebar +
		'</td></tr><tr><td></td></tr><tr></tr>';

		HTML = HTML + template;

where res[i].key.fn are the name, i think it sort by id for now but not by key.fn...

Just as a reminder since I don't have much time and will continue on this later`.

Breakpoints here : https://github.com/RobyRemzy/cozy-map/blob/db21da17f3683c8e046af35b8b6d4b0a79872aa3/src/app.js#L710

In console enter this

var a = _.filter(res, function (num) {return num.key.datapoints[2] && num.key.datapoints[2].name == 'adr';})

Need to check all the values in the datapoints tab instead of just "2" but it's returning me a contact, should return all then just do something like:

_.sortBy(res, 'name'); // I think it's not directly name and we will need to use a function here too ;)
